Young Farmers & Ranchers Leadership Activities

Young Farmers & Ranchers participate in many leadership activities on the local and state levels. Workshops to enhance leadership skills and public speaking skills are offered at events like the YF&R Leadership Conference and the State Annual Meeting. Some of the county Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers groups also conduct leadership training sessions throughout the year. All Young Farmers & Ranchers are encouraged to participate in these opportunities.

Interested in taking your leadership potential to the state level?

If so, the NYFB State Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee could be the perfect fit. The objective of the committee is to surface and develop young leaders. The committee serves as a liaison for county YF&R Committee chairs and plans the annual YF&R Conference.

NYFB State Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee

The State Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee consists of an elected representative from each of the 11 regions, an elected chair (who also sits on the NYFB Board of Directors) and up to three At-Large members. The committee consists of a representative from each of the 11 NYFB districts and up to three At-Large positions. District representatives serve a 2-year term, and At-Large positions serve a 1-year term. The Collegiate Chapter Presidents are ex-officio non-voting members of the State YF&R Committee. These individuals help to coordinate events and activities in all of the counties within their regions. You can contact the members via email.
